The Hold Steady The Only Thing Lyrics
The Only Thing by The Hold Steady
Once you were close
I knew that you would leave
For a while I couldn't breathe
I couldn't even breathe
Sure she's still with you,
But first she was with me.
What tangled webs we weave!
She said some things I don't believe
Sleeping at a storage space by the airport
I think she talks about T.V.
I think that sutures us together
It's the thing that most matters at the end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Flying all around like a fist in a fight
Tired of always feeling frustrated
This town was so much fun
When there weren't so much police
We didn't have to watch our speed
First she's down in Texas
Then she went back to Tennessee
What tangled webs we weave
She said some things I don't believe
Sleeping at a storage space by the airport
I think she talks about is T.V.
The only thing that sutures us together
All these dreams
I start to see through my dreams
In my dreams
And the thing that most matters at the end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Floating all around like a nurse in the night
Tired of always feeling frustrated
She's been senseless
She's been sad
Got bad around March or April when I thought it got better
She's been wasted, she's been honest
She's got a necklace, it looks pretty expensive
I'd like to know where she got it
Sure she's still with you
But first she was with me
Man, I've been trying to get in touch with her
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
She's sleeping at a storage space by the airport
One thing she talks about is T.V.
The only thing that sutures us together
Are these dreams
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
I knew that you would leave
For a while I couldn't breathe
I couldn't even breathe
Sure she's still with you,
But first she was with me.
What tangled webs we weave!
She said some things I don't believe
Sleeping at a storage space by the airport
I think she talks about T.V.
I think that sutures us together
It's the thing that most matters at the end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Flying all around like a fist in a fight
Tired of always feeling frustrated
This town was so much fun
When there weren't so much police
We didn't have to watch our speed
First she's down in Texas
Then she went back to Tennessee
What tangled webs we weave
She said some things I don't believe
Sleeping at a storage space by the airport
I think she talks about is T.V.
The only thing that sutures us together
All these dreams
I start to see through my dreams
In my dreams
And the thing that most matters at the end of the night
Ashes to ashes and dust in the spotlight
Floating all around like a nurse in the night
Tired of always feeling frustrated
She's been senseless
She's been sad
Got bad around March or April when I thought it got better
She's been wasted, she's been honest
She's got a necklace, it looks pretty expensive
I'd like to know where she got it
Sure she's still with you
But first she was with me
Man, I've been trying to get in touch with her
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
She's sleeping at a storage space by the airport
One thing she talks about is T.V.
The only thing that sutures us together
Are these dreams
Last night her teeth were in my dreams
